Used in Ayurveda in cooking, beauty and wellness, it was the oil preferred by Cleopatra. Black cumin oil is very good moisturiser, rejuvenates and gives vitality to the skin. It relieves inflamed joints, rheumatic complaints, corrects dark circles under the eyes and is very effective against acne. It can be used directly on the skin or add a teaspoon to bath water and soak for at least 20 minutes. It is also very appreciated in Indian cuisine, used as a dressing and in the preparation of sauces, meats and vegetables.
